*** This also brings up the problems that the [[Gender Flip|Nyotalia girls]] face in fandom. They either are: a) used as ammo to bash the already existing Hetalia females ("they are ~women with power and agendas~, unlike the weak bitches that the sexist bastard Himaruya created"); b) slutshamed and/or called [[Mary Sue|Mary Sues]] without basis ([http://sophisticatedlesbian.tumblr.com/post/7929909384/in-which-i-talk-about-ladies-in-hetalia "Female!America dresses like a hooker, eeeeew we bet she's a cheap whore and not a badass!"], "Female!England looks like a [[Tsundere]] [[Mary Sue]]!, I hate and judge her already"); and/or c) as shown above, demeaned and looked down purely for their gender ("I loooove the male charas, but I hate their genderflips! Cocks are hot, tits are EW.") |

** Some people are really, really '''OFFENDED''' by the mere possibility that Portugal ''may'' [http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-939.html be given a female nation-tan.] We wonder what's their reason... ah yeah, this one. Bet it's because either: they think that [ |
** Some people are really, really '''OFFENDED''' by the mere possibility that Portugal ''may'' [http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-939.html be given a female nation-tan.] We wonder what's their reason... ah yeah, this one. Bet it's because either: they think that [[wikipedia:Portuguese Empire|Portuguese Empire]] would somehow be less awesome and badass if a woman represents it; they won't be able to portray [[wikipedia:Anglo-Portuguese Alliance|the Anglo Portuguese Alliance]] as hot [[Ho Yay]] with England; or the [[wikipedia:Portuguese Empire#Iberian Union and rivalry with the Dutch .281580.E2.80.931663.29|Iberian Union]] days with Spain will immediately mean for them that "Portugal was an oppressed wife to Spain, OMG". |

** What makes all of this wank about the gender ratio really interesting is that Himaruya once stated that the reason there were so many more males than females was that he found it harder to draw females than males at first. Considering that he's drawn a lot of sketches for the female and nyotalia nations recently, it's more than likely that the skewed gender ratio was simply a product of initial art limitations rather than any intended sexism. |
